Welcome to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, year 2! This semester at Hogwarts we will be focusing on the second Harry Potter book – The Chamber of Secrets.

We will start the club semester by being sorted into Houses with a DELICIOUS Sorting Hat Ceremony. Each week we will begin with watching the second movie and having a snack. Then we will make a craft, play games, conduct experiments, or do some other Harry Potter-themed activity (think character snow globes, spell books and quill pens, and house color bookmarks) Each week the houses will compete in trivia from 2 chapters in the book. The winning team will earn House Points which we track all semester. Teams can earn House Points all semester by working together well, winning a game, and following directions. The winning House at the end of the semester will win a prize from the Harry Potter store in NYC! I hope to see some new faces for Year 2!includes a club shirt and a snack for each meeting.

Musical Theater & Drama Club
Instructor: Jackson Murray
Cost: $125
Grades: 3rd-5th (TUES &FRI)
Registration only open to students that participated in the Fall
Musical Theater and Drama Club is a fall AND spring Comet Club commitment to be able to perform in Little Mermaid Jr. (Broadway Jr. show) at the end of March. $125 registration will be paid in the fall and again in the spring.
Calling all drama kids! This year we will be putting on “The Little Mermaid Jr.” Let’s go under the sea to explore the ocean and tell the story of Ariel and her majestic friends. All students that are in the club with have an active part in the development, design, and performance of the show! It is a great opportunity to immerse our students into the world of music and theater in a community way. Parents are also invited to volunteer to help the club with props, costumes, and stage design! Mr. Murray is eager to share his talents with our students through the theater and music.
All the practice leads up to four performances of “The Little Mermaid Jr.” in the spring, two for Keheley students and two for parents and families to attend.
This club is open to students in grades 3-5 and meets all year long. Broadway Jr. shows are amazing opportunities offered by the Musical Theater Institute (MTI). They take time and energy in a way most cubs do not. With this, Musical Theater club requires a year-long commitment.
The club will meet on Fridays after school until 3:45pm during the fall semester. In the Spring we will meet on Tuesdays AND Fridays after school until 3:45
In addition to our Comet Clubs we also have several after school clubs serving Keheley Elementary School this year. Check these clubs out happening on Tuesdays and Fridays!
